Where does the Monaco Grand Prix take place?

Monaco is tight, curvy and not really suitable for modern F1 cars. He is a relapse into the series of jumps in the 1950s. Monaco is filled with a glamor of the old school and a port with luxury yachts, and is known as the “jewel in the crown” of the F1, but it is far the slowest race track of the year. Overtaking is so difficult that the qualified session on Saturday is probably more important than the race. With barriers near the route, even the smallest mistake can mean a crash.

What happened in the last race?

Max Verstappen gave his title defense a big boost by defeating the McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piatri to win the Grand Prix of Emilia-Romagna. At the beginning, Verstappen overtook Piatri in a daring step from outside and controlled the rest of the race with strong pace and intelligent strategy. Norris overtook Piatri late in the race for second place to shorten the management of his teammate.
